    BREAKING NEWS: heartbreaking story, in Australia

    You have a valid point, SCBassist. But the question is... Did the doctors actually attempt to communicate with the Deaf parents? From what I have gathered thus far, there was no communication between the parents and the doctors, and the parents were left in the dark until the said meeting...

    Hearing schools

    Interesting discussion. I'm from Australia, as y'all can see... I was mainstreamed all through my schooling years, and I have found it to be advantageous, especially when I was provided with interpreters (or rather, teacher aides and/or teachers of the deaf with signing skills) in all of my...

    What’s the best cop show of all time?

    Rizzoli & Isles is my favourite - it's a mix of cop and forensic but a fantastic one at that. Chicago PD is a new cop show - going to check it out!

    What do you do for a living?

    Temporarily unemployed. Currently living off welfare payments, which helps but isn't enough as Sydney is expensive. But it'll be interesting to live frugally. Hope to pick up some odd jobs here and then.

    Effects of absence of an older male role model on women?

    My father wasn't around for 18 years, and we only re-connected 8 years ago, and now we're not speaking. Long story, but I grew up not trusting males. I dated a few males, but I wasn't comfortable with any of them. I couldn't be myself around them. I found myself having more romantic feelings...

    ASL in public setting?

    I only sign to those who know sign language. Pretty much a moot point if you sign to someone who doesn't know any sign language, however you could if they wanted to learn from you. With people who don't sign, I lipread, mime it out or write it down.

    Working or volunteering overseas

    Has anyone had experience working or volunteering overseas? I'm looking into it - be it volunteering at a Deaf school in a developing country (Nepal for example), camp counselor at a Deaf summer camp in the USA (Camp Mark 7 for example), or as an aupair/nanny somewhere in the world.
